mmhmm says this:

The virtual green screen feature in mmhmm requires a lot of computer resources. If you have a physical green screen, consider using it instead.

Is that what the issue is?

The conservative base is worse than Brad thinks, although he tries to allow for it being worse than he thinks. It's not as easy as “the Negroes and the Rootless Cosmopolites are coming to steal your stuff!” It's worse. It's Maistre. The world is built on sin and punishment and somebody (preferably an Other) must atone for it in substitutive pain.

Think of the issues that really motivate the American right. Women atoning for their sexuality with a coathanger. Cops and troops blasting away: the modern Maistrienne hangman. All Enlightenment institutions withering. And Jesus presiding over it all.

Corey Robin made a big mistake when he trained his guns on Burke: "what I have I will hold." He hit his lesser target fair and well. But he left the greater one alone.
